[The CIVIS Newsroom ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) 2. Sapienza opening of the academic year, held outside the Rome University for the first time Sapienza opening of the academic year, held outside the Rome University for the first time ============================================================================================ CIVIS Highlights 26 februari 2025 The Flavio Vespasiano Theatre hosted the Opening Ceremony of the academic year 2024-2025, the 722nd since SUR's foundation. For the first time, this institutional event was held outside the Rome University campus. This was to enhance the new Rieti project, with new degree courses and workshops in sustainable engineering, circular economy and in the medical area. ![](/storage/files/02-photo-polimeni.jpg) ©SUR The event was opened with rector Antonella Polimeni's speech, underlining Sapienza's commitment to make educational and scientific planning more flexible and more permeable to the stimuli, talents and traditions of the territories: > *It is a paradigm shift, a turning point in the interpretation of the tasks that a great university feels the need to undertake. In Rieti, our university has been working for several years in collaboration with local institutions and authorities. The virtuous vector that unites Sapienza with this and other areas is represented by the students, who demand an increasingly qualified offer to safeguard a future that is up to the challenges that await them in the coming years,* stated Antonella Polimeni. The European Union itself has strongly encouraged this vision, advocating the need to promote more holistic, proactive and territory-based organisational, economic and cultural strategies. The positive effect of the decentralisation of university locations on local development, employment and the growth of human capital was documented by important international studies. The Rieti teaching and research hub ----------------------------------- Promoted by Sapienza and the University of Tuscia, Rieti was inaugurated two years ago, now counting over 1200 students and 16 degree courses. The inter-university project envisages new degree courses and integrated laboratories in the fields of sustainable engineering, circular economy and agrifood, as well as the implementation of the healthcare offering to enhance local medicine and the quality of training in the medical area. **More details are available in the [original, Italian story](https://www.uniroma1.it/it/notizia/inaugurazione-del-nuovo-anno-accademico-della-sapienza).** ### Latest Highlights: [*ULB academics join international scholars in urgent call for aid in RDC's humanitarian crisis*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/ulb-academics-join-international-scholars-in-urgent-call-aid-in-rdc-humanitarian-crisis) [*NKUA's researchers analyse the seismic activity on Santorini island*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/nkua-s-researchers-analysing-the-seismic-activity-on-santorini-island) *[Researchers at Stockholm University introduce the ‘Valentine's Scale’, measuring the level of satisfaction in a relationship](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/researchers-at-stockholm-university-introduce-the-valentine-s-scale-measuring-the-level-of-satisfaction-in-a-relationship)* [*Aix-Marseille Université awards the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to the Italian President Sergio Mattarella*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/aix-marseille-universite-awards-the-title-of-doctor-honoris-causa-to-the-italian-president-sergio-mattarella) *[University of Tübingen researchers study a new approach to preventing heart attacks and strokes](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/university-tubingen-researchers-study-new-approach-preventing-heart-attacks-strokes)* [*The consolidation of our European University Alliance, highlighted in a CIVIS conference at the UAM*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/consolidation-european-university-alliance-highlighted-civis-conference-uam) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)Musicians from all over CIVIS come together in Madrid to promote inclusiveness Connect 22 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/at-irene-scifoni-02-sapienza-quantum-lab-copia-800x600.jpg?token=29eb8cbaf2383ed4bff95ad36bf7213b)SUR's modular photonic computer is now fully operational CIVIS Highlights 26 januari 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/sur-s-modular-photonic-computer-is-now-fully-operational) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/02-mlk-foto-di-stefania-sepulcri_2-800x600.jpg?token=5ce00b0649bc049397348a1e5df68500)An in-depth exhibition at Sapienza celebrating Martin Luther King - the icon of the Civil Rights Movement CIVIS Highlights 2 december 2025 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/an-in-depth-exhibition-at-sapienza-celebrating-martin-luther-king-the-icon-of-the-civil-rights-movement) [Upptäck alla våra berättelser](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) [ Two UNIL Professors awarded with Doctor Honoris Causa by NKUA ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/two-unil-professors-awarded-doctor-honoris-causa-nkua >) [ ULB academics join international scholars in urgent call for aid in RDC's humanitarian crisis ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/ulb-academics-join-international-scholars-in-urgent-call-aid-in-rdc-humanitarian-crisis >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
